Harvest Labour

Enjoy a working holiday!

Greater Shepparton is the nation's leading fruit and vegetable processing centre and is known as Australia's food bowl. Some 25 per cent of Victoria's agricultural production is generated within the region, including 70% of Australia's pears! Peak harvest season is from late January to early March, with shoulder periods December and April. It is advisable to ensure work is available before making your way to Greater Shepparton.

The Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre is not able to offer advice about employment in harvest labour, however you can obtain more information from the harvest office Shepparton, provided by the employment service MADEC.

The Visitor Centre, located at 33 Nixon Street, Shepparton, is your first stop for information on things to see and do and where to stay while in Greater Shepparton. Providing quality information and brochures on accommodation, attractions, events and activities, the friendly staff and volunteers have the expert knowledge to make your stay in the region a memorable one.
